Thoughts from Phoenix

[slappy4428]

I stayed at one of those hotels once in Elkhart.
I refused to believe there was a Westin in town. I was right. I'd been booked at Roscoe Weston's Motor Lodge....

The best? The one in Houston where I was awakened at 6 a.m. by someone in the adjoining room screaming "Oh Baby! Ohh Baby! Ohhh, Bay-beeee!"

Sorry about that. We'll try to keep it down next time. 8)

Yeah. We. Right.

Off to Hohokam Park to watch Mariners vs. Cubs. It\'s just my luck that I have to watch Ted Lilly pitch. Baek is pitching for the Mariners, but they are split squad so I am not sure how good their players will be.

 

[Angola!]

1. Jeremy Reed should never attempt to play left field again, he was eaten up by two balls and played worse than Soriano out there.
2. Aramis Ramirez can\'t field, but boy can he hit.
3. Ted Lilly and his issues with walking people will make him not worth his contract.
4. If you go to a Cubs game, pony up the $20 for tickets to sit in the shade. Standing in left field in 93 degree weather was sketchy at best.
5. 16 oz beers at the game cost $7, I had two, but next time I will be sure to do some day drinking before I head to the park.

I thought the Coyotes were off tonight.

ECHL.
Watched Bakersfield defeat the Phoenix Roadrunners 4-3.
Hung out with OTD, allowed him to buy me a beer. Had a couple more.
Also, got to say, OTD is one cool dude. It\'s good to finally meet someone from the board that I didn\'t previously know.
Friday, I will be meeting Old Tony. Good times in Phoenix.
Onwards to the bars to stare at ASU girls and attempt to get laid and at least get really ****ing drunk.

Coyotes are sub-ECHL these days. The Roadrunners are far more entertaining for a fraction of the price.

And shade is highly underrated in the Cactus League. I sat in the shade behind home plate at Maryvale Stadium for Brewers/Angels after roasting at two other parks the previous days. Maryvale has a high press box that casts a huge shadow, which is very nice on a 90+ degree day. It also has the worst concessions and restrooms in the league, and quite possibly the worst parking.

We had a fine time with Angola! at the Roadrunners game tonight. The only thing is, I hope he has better luck with the ASU girls than his buddy did with the girls sitting behind us.

One thing we found out is that there aren't many places to get something good to eat in Tempe after 10 p.m. We finally found a place that has mesquite grilled fish and ice cold beer. It was perfect.

Tomorrow: Brewers at the Angels. Nothing tastes better than the first ice-cold beer of the baseball season, brought to your seat.

 

[Angola!]

Well, I had a chance, at least as good as my buddy\'s, but then suddenly she was a Red Sox fan and said something about 2004, which I don\'t think exists - much like 2002 (like I told OTD) - and that was that.
But I am really ****ing drunk right now.
And, with a doubleheader of spring training games on the docket tomorrow, I expect to be really ****ing drunk tomorrow.

 

[Tom Petty]

is being a red sox fan anything like being a fan of brown boots?

If you're out toward Peoria/Surprise, and you're not a vegan, you might try this place:

Dillon's Restaurant
8706 W. Thunderbird Rd.
Peoria, AZ
(Loop 101 and Thunderbird Rd.)

You might find something in the bar on your right on the way in too, but it won't be babyback. :-\

I seek advice.
A smoking hot chick that seems pretty interested was just at the bar with us and her boyfriend.
My buddy is going to bed, because he has to drive to California in the morning.
So we are just hanging out, and all of a sudden said chickie walks over and is like, \"we are going to get food, do you want any?\" So I tell her my order and then she is like come to room 238 later and we will smoke out.
Well, I don\'t really want to smoke out, but since a girl told me to, I feel obligated.
So, the question is, do I roll down to their room or not? Is chickie trying to do others? What the **** is going on in ****ing Phoenix right now?

 

[Angola!]

Go smoke.

And good luck.

Thanks for the advice and we will see what happens.

 

[Tom Petty]

'gola's excellent adventure.

Just don't let her tie you up, she/they might take your wallet ...

Okay, everyone, get tested to see if your kidneys match up with Angola's, because he's probably waking up in an ice-filled bathtub right about ... now.

 

[User 1019]

Anyone heard from Angola this morning?

 

[Chef]

This will not end well.

 

[User 1019]

This did not end well.

Wow, still no Angola?
